Re: Plexiglass And Lexan.
You can use a propane torch but you have to be real carefull because it will bubble very easy. I usually use a heatgun, its alot easyer to work with and safer, although it does take longer because it takes he plastic longer to get hot enough to bend.

Re: Plexiglass And Lexan.
Depends on the thickness, you can heat 1/8" thick in an oven at 200 for about 10 minutes and it becomes plyable.
